lyrics

I guess forever just got a lot shorter
I miss the sun
I am turning a corner to find a dead end
I won't turn around

It seems like each morning I'm considering a change
I'm not comfortable
It seems like each morning I'm faking taking aim
At my own worst obstacle

I'll be quiet
If you're quiet
I'll be quiet
I won't make a sound

Take me away
So I don't need to know myself
And then ask me to stay
As full as I feel there's always someone else

I walk through every exit I find
I am not entering
I wish I had left without saying goodbye
I have been gone too long

If I fall in the forest when no one is around
Will you be listening
If I lose my direction and forget to cut you down
Will you be listening

Are my problem
Your problems
Are my problems
The reason I said I'm not feeling unwell

Take me away
So I don't need to know myself
And then ask me to stay
Could I ever mean anything to anyone else

I'm too slow to be still fast asleep
Each morning I'm brought back to myself
I'm too scared to be not on my own
So while you dream of him
I hope you know I'm thankful

I'll be quiet
If you're quiet
I'll be quiet

Take me away
My heart's not enough and I'm not okay
You're so far away
I miss you and you and you

Take me away
I think that you're fine and I think I'm the same
And now that you've changed
I need to mean anything to anyone but you
